Improved means for the chemotherapy of malaria were patented last week for the Army. Twenty-eight compounds are listed in Patent 4,554,279, granted Andrew J. Saggiomo and Edward A. Nodiff of the Franklin Research Center in Philadelphia.

The patent points out that malaria has long presented the most serious of global public health problems among infectious diseases. There are yet some one million fatalities annually from the disease. Present test results suggest that the compounds will undergo further screening and development.
